Dog Boarding in Emmitsburg

Ellen is great with my pup Kylo. Boarding or daycare I always know he’s having a great time and being looked after by the best. His home away from home

This was my first time using a pet sitter. I've only taken my high anxiety dog a handful of times to a local boarding facility for 2 or 3 days at a time maximum. So to leave my dog with a stranger for 2 weeks where I'm at a different continent, was nerve-wracking to say the least. Ive met up with a few sitters on here and I can say that from the start Renee was very welcoming, knowledgeable, understanding, and had great communication. She voluntarily mentioned things like having an emergency vet nearby, thinking through other dogs that she'd be looking after at the same time and how all the dogs would fit together. She was asking all the right questions to learn about Trudie's routine and how to have her stay be as comfortable as possible. While I was away on vacation, she would send me daily updates on how Trudie is doing with accompanying pictures. She shared how her eating and potty habits were truthfully (which were all expected given how anxious my dog is and the new situation she's in). I was just hoping that Trudie would not be freaking out the entire time, I would have called that a win. So seeing pictures of Trudie on her back getting belly rubs was just beyond anything I could have hoped for. I truly felt comfortable while being thousands of miles away that my dog is in great hands. I rarely ever write reviews, but Renee truly deserves the recognition.

Very good care was given to my dog , very friendly my dog was easy to adapt with them.

Hugo was so well cared for while staying with Ruth. He seemed at ease immediately and seemed to have a wonderful time while staying there. We received daily updates and photos, more than we even expected. The communication was excellent throughout, and it made us so at ease and able to focus on our trip, knowing that Hugo was being cared for and that if there were any important updates we would be promptly informed. Hugo had an excellent time for the entirety of his stay and we loved seeing him hanging out with Tazzz and generally being cozy and comfortable. Hugo was treated with care, love and attention and really seemed to like being there. When I picked up Hugo, he was excited to see me (and I got a nice video of the experience!) and then he was so calm and happy on the drive home. At home he seemed relaxed and genuinely refreshed from his stay, which really reinforced our feeling that he was in good hands. We would definitely have Hugo stay with Ruth again. Thank you for caring for Hugo!

Sarah did a terrific job -- provided boarding for my dog for a few weeks as I recovered from surgery. She sent daily messages and pictures about their activities. It was so reassuring for me to know that Maggie was being cared for in a loving home by a caring family -- SO much better than a kennel (particularly important for dogs that are nervous or suffer from separation anxiety)! Sarah couldn't have done a better job. She both helped Maggie adjust to her temporary home, and provided me with peace of mind during my recovery.

Jonathan, Jen, and family were wonderful. Our pups had a great time with their family and their dogs. I am so happy I found them and will for sure use them again for our dogs.

Nat and Ally and boys were amazing with our Roxy. They spoiled her with attention and took great care of her. One of their boys even drew a picture for Roxy to take home. We plan to hang it above her water bowl. Updates and pictures were great, we felt informed and had no need to worry. She was in great hands.

Wow, I am truly amazed at the way Jennifer took care of our dog Midnight. He’s an elderly dog and she made he felt ultra comfortable. She sent pictures every day and videos and was really great with communication! She’s also a very sweet person. When needed, I am definitely going to use her services again!

Karen and her family took great care of Athena! She made it so we could go on vacation without worrying about her and knowing she was well taken care of.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Highly Recommended! 🐾❤️ We had such a wonderful experience leaving our Leo with Anna! From the very beginning, Anna was incredibly sweet, humble, caring, and welcoming. Her husband and two sons were just as kind, and even their adorable dogs, Maple and Mixie, made Leo feel like part of their family. 🐶❤️🐶 Anna took amazing care of Leo in every possible way. She kept us updated regularly, sent us lots of pictures, and always let us know how Leo was doing. As pet parents, those little updates and photos gave us so much comfort and reassurance while we were away. The pictures said it all — we could clearly see how happy, comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for Leo was. ❤️ It truly felt like he was staying with a second family rather than simply being boarded. What meant the most to us was the genuine love and attention Anna and her family gave Leo. You can tell that she truly loves and understands dogs and treats them like her own. Thank you so much, Anna, and your wonderful family, for taking such great care of our Leo. 🥰🐾 We are extremely grateful and would absolutely trust you with him again. 100% highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for someone who will care for your fur baby with love, attention, and kindness, Anna is the one! ❤️🐶 Leo is definitely going to miss Anna, her family, Maple, and Mixie! 🐾❤️

Jennifer was amazing! I urgently needed last minute dogsitting on a holiday weekend, and not only was she able to help, she was on top of communication, I got pictures of my pup enjoying herself! I picked up a happy and healthy dog, excited to see me after a 4 nights stay, I would def trust Jennifer with your dog

Priscilla was a very caring and kind sitter. She has a very nice backyard and deck which from the several pics she provided. I would definitely book again with her and others should too.

Sabrina was great with Maisie. She sent plenty of updates and photos. I could tell from the pictures that Maisie was comfortable staying with Sabrina. It’s good to have that peace of mind when you are away from your pet. Thanks Sabrina! We will be back!

Marne and John were fantastic host. Onyx was uneasy at the start, but warmed up to them over his stay. I also really appreciated their flexibility as my travel was slightly extended due to unforeseen circumstances. I definitely recommend using them for your dog stays!

Linda was absolutely wonderful! I loved and appreciated the regular updates sharing how my pup was doing! You could tell she cares and loves each dog as her own and is attentive to their individual needs! My dog was also exhausted when she got home! A great sign that she had a great time!

Ashley was simply superb. She took great care of our dog and was extremely flexible with us due to some unforseen schedule changes. I strongly recommend her services and I'll continue to do business with her in the near future.

Silvia and Roberto were amazing with Macki! They sent daily updates with photos, and welcomed her into their home. We could tell Macki had a great experience!

Shaynna was great. She literally took my dog on last minute availability within 30 minutes of my request. I needed to go to the hospital and would not have been able to if it wasn't for her. She was quick to reply and gave me updates to ease my mind. I'll be forever grateful to her.
